Why
you should encourage your agency staff to participate?

To
encourage more young people to become involved in their associations and
to bring new talent into the independent agency system. As the average age
of agency principals increases, the need to bring young agents into the
system grows. These events provide the ideal vehicle for integrating these
enthusiastic, forward thinking men and women into the fold.

Promotes
new ideas..."New blood" is the key to ongoing growth, and every
agency is faced with the task of keeping their perspective fresh and
moving forward. Young agents bring new ideas and excitement to the
business and are the cornerstones of an agency's future. With proper
motivation, education, and direction, young agents will be prepared to
assume the mantle of leadership within the independent agency system.

Keeps
morale high...Allowing young insurance professionals to participate in association
activities provides them with motivation to work harder in the agency and
adds to the overall morale of the workplace. The positive interaction of a
young agents' forum provides sharing with peers who have the same types of
challenges and successes. As a result, young agents are aware that the
issues they are facing are similar to their peers. When they return to the
agency, young agents have a broader perspective and generally want to
participate in the problem solving process and sharing of successes.
